Is the headline actually wrong? Its literally about how they saw themselves.

Why? The question is whether Starship is on schedule or not. Orion or ML2 aren't holding back Starship. Waiting until the end of 2026 does nothing with regards to the initial schedule.

Tough to cover eight light years in less than a year, though depends whose frame of reference you are measuring in here?

I think a lot of people think of it as investing in Musk rather than investing in just Tesla.

Probably not for the price they offered though.

Yes, but in the original schedule on HLS Starship was supposed to have done the prop transfer in Q4 2022, an uncrewed lunar landing in Q1 2024, and the actual thing in Q1 2025. Of course that was always wishful thinking. I'm sure Space

That's a big area, covering much of the centre of the city. It will be impressive to see it working well.

It says the people running the US right now think that is the game we are playing - it doesn't say it is the one we actually are playing. America is utterly fucked if they are wrong, and only a bit less so if they are right.

The coffee is bad but they don't complain if I sit there and work for six hours. I usually see the price as paying for that, not the coffee. Though I do prefer good local coffee shops when I find them, but I feel bad about taking up a

Why does this even need an executive order?

Trump seems to have figured that out with Tiktok at least...

I've always wondered if they can simply redefine the length of a year to extend presidental and congressional terms. Based on this, it seems like they could.

We once had a customer on a project that we'd messed up. I told the customer I was sorry about that and that I'd make an effort to fix the problem. I could see they were happy to hear that. But afterwards my manager called me at h

No, I spent multiple months working in the US and concluded I didn't want to live there long term. Not so much guns and healthcare as how screwed up the culture is and how little community there is. You guys are lonely and you really d

About 50% of cubesats fail, at least partially. I've worked with a dozen or so of them, supporting different people and companies trying to use them. Only one failed to work at all. But many of the others had serious problems of one ki

It's not quite the same. Any Mars rock that reaches us naturally has likely spent millions of years in the vacuum of space and then been heated to very high temperatures as it falls through the atmosphere.

Many proposals on sending people to Mars seem to (deliberately?) sidestep the question of coming back. Often they quietly assume that they simply won't come back.

Yep, population of 80,000 vs 8,000,000.

I think the proposal from the left is a 2% wealth tax annually on wealth above €100 million. I suppose that is what they are referring to.

Mm, the constant strikes are not a positive. I was not able to attend a funeral of a close friend because of a strike, for example. And other strikes, though not all, are very hard to explain why they are happening. Plus, the damage from th

All of England is pretty close to the sea though. But you'd need to build a separate set of pipes to carry all the salt water.

If I ask that question and your first suggestion is to use a truck, you probably aren't getting the job! Surely the obvious answer is to go with ftp or a usb stick and then wait for the interviewer to say, well this file is 15 terabyte
